Exhibit E CT CAP RFP Budget Template REVISED.xlsx

This file is the Budget Template (Exhibit E) for the Connecticut Career Accelerator Program: Program Administration solicitation issued by the Connecticut Office of Workforce Strategy. The template is designed for proposers to complete their budget submissions for the program administration services. Proposers must complete only the yellow-shaded cells within the template and may insert additional lines and worksheets as necessary to support their budget build-up. The template accommodates a five-year contract period with budget breakdowns required for each year. Proposals are due November 23, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EST. No specific contract award date, site visits, or bidder's conferences are noted in the available solicitation materials.

The budget template is structured in three primary cost categories: Salaries and Wages (including direct staff positions with hourly rates, total FTE, and fringe benefits), Direct Costs (including origination fees, servicing fees, travel, mileage, supplies, and subcontractor expenses), and Indirect Costs. Proposers must provide justifications and descriptions for all budget line items and calculate total costs for each of the five years, with a grand total required across the contract period. The estimated total contract value and specific funding amounts are not specified in the available materials. Funding will be deployed to the selected Program Administrator on a drawdown schedule to be determined during contracting negotiations.
